    Magical superhuman enemies with echo location powers who never miss a shot. And they call this realism. Pathetic

    This is the most Ubisofty game Ubisoft has ever made. Every open world **** is here. Just imagine yourself doing side content for hours with little reward to do some "main" missions that looks like side content as well so you can finally kill the ruler of such district. Now imagine doing this 20 times. This is the game.

    If you like Ghost Recon games, my understanding is this is supposed to be a real good one of those. However, if you’re looking to start. Ask yourself, do you enjoy Far Cry? If yes… don’t. Just don’t. It’s just not up to par and will leave you quite disappointed. After 9 hours of gameplay, I couldn’t take it anymore and deleted it.    … Expand

    The game is impossible for me to launch in 2022 so the devs have had about 5 years to fix the game

    This is just another boring shooter game with nothing to offer. It was really a slog to beat this one since I was bored out of my mind. Usually, I don't skip cutscenes in games, but the story was so interesting that I just plowed through the game as fast as possible since I felt trapped playing the most "meh" game of 2017.

    Absolute garbage. Breakpoint was better in every way I can think of. My biggest gripe with this is the terrible AI. Your teammates do nothing but stand there and look around.

Your teammates do nothing but stand there and look around. The enemy AI magically always knows where you are, can hear suppressed gunshots a mile away, call in reinforcements after you've completely cleared an area, and the list goes on. I've never played a game where you can escape from the enemies and hide for hours in real game time and they'll still be chilling outside waiting for you. Other games like GTA reduce the wanted level after hiding for a period of time. Even when I leave the area completely and wait in hiding this often doesn't work.
    Why Wildlands is **** The moment an enemy detects you the whole base knows you're there without them having to call it in. Enemies can detect you through solid floors, walls, trees, etc. Once you're detected, limitless fleets pursue you, even after you've killed them all and left the area. After you've killed everyone, sometimes your wanted meter goes away and the map clears up (no more red, yellow, or suspicion), but reinforcements are called even though there's not alarm or troops left to call them bringing your wanted meter back.

    Shoulder continuously switches to the left and right without permission and there's no setting like in Breakpoint that tells the game to automatically switch back (or to not to do this at all in the first place - which would've been much better, imo).

    Dead center shots don't always land. Making shots much less accurate than other games I've played. Sometimes the guns don't reload when I press square. The controller is fine. No issues in other games. Enemies in general are bullet sponges. It doesn't matter if they have armor or not. I can mark all of the enemies in a base, but more will randomly appear as red/purple clouds from seemingly nowhere. I've seen their actual character model appear out of nowhere after ordering a Sync Shot with the drone.

    There have been times when I'm in the middle of clearing a base and a random loading screen will prompt is send me off to a random Rally Point (never went online/offline - during solo play).

    Some idiot came up with the idea to not include the ability to jump. This makes it even harder to get out of situations when the game glitches you in between objects (this game in general is very buggy to be so post-release).

    Sometimes off-road vehicles will easily flip over from nothing and there is no way to recover them even though the trash mechanics is the cause in the first place (this is a feature in the GTA series even when the mechanics are much better than this game - in GTA 5; a 2013 game).

    The airplane mechanics are the worst I've ever felt in a video game and the fact that a tiny pole can't destroy the entire aircraft doesn't help.

    Somehow enemies very often will hear silenced shots through floors and walls, alerting everyone around.

    Drone constantly gets stuck scanning and won't allow you to mark enemies.

    Pressing square almost never works for reloading on the first attempt. This is also the first game where silencers don't seem to matter. They often don't hear me without one and often hear me with one.

    Missile will randomly strike down your helicopter supply deliveries and there's little to nothing you can do about it (at a low altitude).

    Enemies have the ability to run and jump through walls.

    The game will fail my missions and make me completely restart (taking away my transport vehicle) while I'm tailing someone I can clearly see but they're "too far away." Even though they're right there in my line of sight.

    Unidad patrols often interfere with santa blanca missions. Shouldn't they be patroling their own turf?

    Fast-traveling during a mission can make you lose progress without any warning at all.

    I can completely clear the map of enemies and no longer be pursued but fast-travel will still be locked because I'm "in a fight." With who? The air?

    At times "order assault" does nothing. They just lean out of the vehicle and watch as we're being barraged by enemies gunfire.    … Expand

    Game can be fun and has some cool mechanics but the Sam Fischer mission ruins the game for me. It's ridiculously difficult and tedious on any difficulty and completely breaks the pacing of the game and felt like a random way to throw Sam Fischer into the game. Don't support Ubisoft by getting this game. Thanks!

If you play enough UBISOFT games you must realize they spend most of their time planning out messed up ways to hide hundreds of collectibles, instead of focusing on a story or some type of entertaining enjoyable experience. We get helicopter after helicopter spawning in from out of nowhere. As soon as you shoot the 2-3 down that were attacking you more spawn in. Waves of endless enemies while searching for your 1,000 collectibles. Going up stairs that are inside a house, then outside, and the last row you realize it's the wrong house. Elaborate underground bunker with tunnel after tunnel. For what? To hide an elusive Kingslayer file. FFS

    Many times I'm out searching for guns. I don't have any quests active/ All of a sudden the game says the suspect got away, or died. My search for guns is over because this stupid pile of trash spawns me back to a base. Some quests auto start if you get too near their location.

    I've had quests glitch out several time and have to start them all over again. I can't believe this game has an average score of 7/10. I get UBISOFT games only after they are super cheap. For GR Wildlands the only thing I enjoyed was the story behind the main quests. In typical UBISOFT fashion. 20% game and 80% filler.    … Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Where do I even begin with this game. This game was absolutely terrible. You start off creating your character while getting background information on “El Sueno” and Bowman’s friend. You then are thrown into a world with three other AI which couldn’t hit a side of a barn if it hit them in the face. The game is absolutely huge. And that’s really all it has going for it. After that first bit of information you find yourself running around killing people, getting information, and then either killing the boss or capturing him. Once you explore a little bit you will have no problem realizing that though the map is big it is also barren. It is also worth noting that my PS4 kept freezing up in some areas. Overall I have to rate this game a 3. It was obvious that the developers were rushed into producing a half baked game.

    Story-1/10 (The only resemblance of a story are the side missions which are also either absolutely excessive or just half baked.)

    Graphics-6/10 (While playing on a PS4 I notices slow downs, crashes, and even textures not loading.)

    This is a pretty mediocre game and an extremely bad Ghost Recon game. If you want a stealth game go but one of the older Ghost Recon or Splinter Cell games and if you want an open world shooter go but Far Cry 5. It's is a very disappointing, boring, repetitive game with an uninteresting story, characters and copy and past world.

    - Running into fences that in other parts of the game were destructible

    I do not recommend anyone purchasing this game, it is a failed attempt to cash in on the engine used for another failed game "The Division".

There's not much to enjoy about this game. It's a great idea, and it had me pretty excited about it when it was first announced at E3 2015. Then, The Division came out, which is one of the worst games I've ever played. When I saw that the same team behind that atrocity was working on Wildlands, I lost all hope. And while I will say it's better than The Division in some ways, let's be honest, that's not a hard bar to pass over.

    So let's start off with what's good. The graphics do look a lot better than they have in other Ubisoft games, and really bring the world to life. Customisation is also very well realised. The character creator isn't anything special, but you can customise your clothes any time and unlock more as you play more of the game (and sign up for Uplay). Weapon customisation is also great, and is one of the better ways that Ubisoft has handled it.

    Now let's look at the bad. The story is garbage, which i was already expecting, even if the game turned out to be good. The only interesting parts are the backstories of the cartel leaders, but thats a very small portion of it. The ending is extremely lazy, and is basically just a way of saying you wasted $60. The open world has nothing to do in it besides missions. No extra activities, no challenges to complete, no nothing. All you can do are story missions, and side missions, both of which involve you going to a base, taking out some dudes, getting what you need, and leaving. It's repetitive, boring, and made me wanna quit the game after I did three. When you are shooting guys, its not fun or satisfying. It seems that Ubisoft will never understand that shooting the same guy over and over again isn't fun. Now let's talk about the absolute worst part of Wildlands: the driving. I think anyone, and I mean anyone, would agree that the driving controls in this game are some of the worst ever made. They're so slippery, so you'll find yourself driving off cliffs and running into things constantly with barely any control of your vehicle. And considering that most of the mission objectives are so far apart from each other, you HAVE to drive everywhere, Or just fly a helicopter there, but that's not a better option.

    Overall, this is nothing more than another sh*tty Tom Clancy game that Ubisoft is frequently adding to their list. I hope they realise that this formula is getting old, and that they need to try something new, but that's not going to happen. Until then, we're stuck with games like this. 4/10.    … Expand

    Ghost Recon: Wildlands excels in the sheer size of it and has a ton of content which offers you and your friends endless possibilities and lots of fun. The gameplay, on the other hand, is often repetitive, which causes the game to be just a little less than fantastic.
